FAQs
so beautiful, so
touchable, it
must be real
Gardens are glorious, but lawns are hard
work. That’s why artificial grass is the
perfect choice when you want the beauty
of grass without the drawbacks.
Why choose artificial grass?
Most people have busy lives
and like the practicality and low
maintenance of gravel, paving
or decking. With artificial grass
you can have all the practicality
but will love the softness, colour
and texture of grass, so you
can spend less time working
on your garden and more time
enjoying it!
It can curve to the contours
of your garden. It’s fully
porous like real grass. It
looks so convincing that your
neighbours will have no idea
your grass isn’t real.
When it comes to practicality,
artificial grass is very different
from real grass.
This super-tough surface
withstands everything life
throws at it. Kids and pets
can play on it to their hearts
content. The weather can
do what it wants. Whatever
the conditions, an artificial
grass lawn maintains its
resilience and good looks
season after season.
Artificial grass asks for nothing
in return. It’s so easy to look
after. You don’t need to mow
it, edge it or feed it. There are
no grass clippings to dispose
of. You don’t need to water it
during dry spells. Artificial grass
is kinder to you and kinder to
the environment.
